Abstract: Nuclear waste is formed into a substantially water-insoluble solid for temporary storage and transportation by mixing the calcined waste with at least 10 weight percent powdered anhydrous sodium silicate to form a mixture and subjecting the mixture to a high humidity environment for a period of time sufficient to form cementitious bonds by chemical reaction. The method is suitable for preparing an interim waste form from dried high level radioactive wastes.

Abstract: Bleach compositions comprising a peroxide compound contain manganese (II) in an amount of 0.005 to 5% by weight and a carbonate compound which delivers carbonate ions in aqueous solution in an amount of 1 to 50% by weight of carbonate ions.The bleach compositions are suitable for bleaching fabrics at substantially all washing temperatures.

Abstract: A method and composition for degrading foodstuff comprising spraying said odstuff with a physiological agent comprising a purgative, an emetic, an internal vesicant, an hallucinogen and a convulsant.

Abstract: A solid pollution-treatment product consisting of a core material of lime, quicklime or hydrated lime. The core is surrounded by a cracked shell formed of either calcium sulfate or calcium carbonate, such materials being referred to in this and prior applications of inventor by the coined terms "Linfans" and "Linveins", respectively.The described particulate material is particularly reactive to sulfur oxide bearing gases. Reactivity of such core material is even further enhanced by increasing its porosity through hydration and used in either the hydrated form or a selectively, partially or wholly dehydrated form before exposure to the sulfur oxide pollutants intended to be removed from flue gas or the like.
